Male fantasies in the 90's were portrayed in cinema by either violent action packed flicks or lowbrow straight-to-VHS erotic movies. This movie aims higher and it is really a masterful effort in narrative and visuals.
Although the accusations of being a self-indulgent, pretentious and a confusing movie are right. I believe the movie's premise is too clever at the expense of the viewer's suspension of disbelief.
It's both a great and frustrating movie.
The user review from user Bob Pr. Written in 14 October 1999 nails this movie. So read it if you are confused (like I was).
